Even with SourceType = Alias I just ran into a funny problem. I was setting my column controlsource values in code, and if I used the field name without the alias the columns were read only (no matter what the ReadOnly property said) and could not be updated. As soon as I added the alias MyCursor.MyField they columns could be edited.
